Default Huh? Nogaro and Imola are also pearl...and Laser and Casa have no clear???

That seems very strange to me.

Default Sorry, Santorin, Nogaro, Cactus, and Nero are pearl but they are only 2-stage

the pearl is mixed with the clear I believe. Not all paints have clearcoats and I'm pretty sure Casa and Laser don't...:=/
